Twitter Advanced Search not showing results

Question

I am trying to do a simple twitter adv search query where I want to find tweets tweeted by "@BSE_News" and that contain some word like for example "Financial". However, twitter's search doesn't show any tweet and there are tons of tweets that are tweeted by BSE_News that contain this word.

What I am doing currently -

Go to the advanced search section once I have logged into my twitter a/c
I enter "Financial" in the "This exact phrase" text box and "@BSE_News" in the "From these accounts" text box. Not sure what I am doing wrong here. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.

I confirm this is not normal. You should ask Twitter on their forum : twittercommunity.com . Even a simple search "from:@BSE_News" returns nothing. Maybe too much tweets ? — JeffProd
Ok, I have done that. Lets see what I get back. Will keep you posted. — Tanveer Sure
I can confirm that with the API "statuses/user_timeline" you get tweets from @BSE_News but not with "search/tweets" — JeffProd
Yes, that is what was suggested on the twitter forum as well. But honestly, if you ask me the search should work. I mean there is nothing I am asking the search to do which is out of the ordinary. The workaround for me is going to be a pain. — Tanveer Sure

You can use Twitter's advanced search boolean operators, coupled with the advanced search operator from: to construct the following query (you can copy & paste it into Twitter's search box or type it directly there):

(financial) from:BSE_News 👀

Of course, you can also broaden or narrow your search by playing with the boolean statement in between the parenthesis using the OR, AND, -(minus for NOT) and ( ) boolean combinations. For example:

(financial OR economic OR monetary OR fiscal) from:BSE_News 👀

(financial AND 2019) from:BSE_News 👀

((financial AND PODDAR) -quarter) from:BSE_News 👀
